GPAC

The Graduate and Professional Allocation Committee (GPAC), a committee of ECGPS, is in charge of distributing all funding for student organizations in the University of Iowa graduate schools. GPAC will review and recommend funding for any student organization that applies, however preference is first given to events that are of interest to primarily Graduate and Professional Students. 

To apply for supplemental funding, student organizations must be recognized by the UI Office of Student Life.  This can be done by completing the following steps:

1) Log on to OrgSync using your HawkID and Password and complete your personal profile.

2) Once you’ve signed in, view the list of student organizations, and select the “Register New Organization” tab to fill out the required information for your organization.

3) If you wish to become a newly recognized student organization, you must create a constitution for your organization. When completed, fill out the appropriate information and upload it onto OrgSync. New organizations are reviewed every Wednesday for approval.  Basic user instructions for OrgSync are posted to this page for your reference.
